Development of a Novel Multi-Disciplinary Specialized Care Service for Children and Adolescents with Autism Spectrum Disorder and/or Intellectual/Developmental Disability in a Tertiary Children’s Hospital Setting
2022
Overview
Children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and/or Intellectual/Developmental Disability (IDD) are at greater risk of developing comorbid medical conditions, mental health diagnoses, behavioral challenges, and having overall poorer physical and mental health outcomes. Hospital environments present unique stressors and challenges for children and adolescents with ASD/IDD including a change in familiar environment, unpredictable routines, and exposure to sensory stimuli that may be overwhelming. While many school boards have specialized multi-disciplinary special needs support teams and services made up of professionals with expertise in supporting students with ASD/IDD, most hospitals do not have a formal multi-disciplinary ASD/IDD support team in place to support patients, families, and health care staff across the hospital. There is an emerging recognition of the need for specialized multi-disciplinary developmental-behavioral and mental health expertise in hospital inpatient settings. This paper describes the framework for the development of an innovative multi-disciplinary program to better support children and adolescents with ASD/IDD within a tertiary children’s hospital setting.
